Notes
Oberlin Friends of Art
The fifteenth annual purchase party was held in the museum on
March 24. Approximately seventy-five members who attended voted
to acquire three works for the museum with the Friends of Art Fund:
Diirer's late woodcut of The Last Stipper on the first ballot, an etching
by James Tissot on the second, and a silkscreen of Marilyn Monroe
by Andy Warhol on the third (see Accessions).
Kress Grant
The Department of Art is the recipient of a renewed and enlarged
award made by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation in the support of the
teaching of the history of art. The five-year grant of $10,000 per year
first made in 1964 has been increased to $12,500 per year for an additional five years. The funds are to be used for fellowships and for the
purchase of materials to be used in the teaching of the history of art.
During the tenure of the first award eight candidates for the Master's
degree received a Kress fellowship. All have completed the requirements
for this degree at Oberlin and five are working toward the doctorate
at graduate schools. The generosity of the Kress Foundation has permitted the library to acquire large back runs of important periodicals
and a large number of out of print major monographs and studies. The
photographic collection has grown significantly with the acquisition of
large groups of photographs of medieval and renaissance sculpture and
of baroque painting. The number of color slides has almost doubled.
The renewed grant will continue to support graduate students in
the form of stipends and travel grants. The balance of the funds will
be used in support of the library and photograph collection, particularly
in the area of Far Eastern art to meet the needs of a new appointment
and a new series of courses in a growing department.
